A total bathroom makeover can cost a lot of money but by installing something as simple as a bathroom vanity you'll be amazed at how much more space your bathroom seems to have, and how easy it is to keep it tidy. Bathroom vanities are cabinets which include a sink as well as a countertop and improve the functionality of your bathroom.

This trick doesn't work. As the RROD is caused by overheating, wrapping it in a towel will make the problem persist. I recommend either getting a RROD repair kit, getting it repaired at a PC store or buying a new one.

lol it works same as blowdrying ur ps3 mother board, the heat from the fan has no where to excape in 2 towels so the heat stays and the heat just fixes it somehow idk exactly how but it has to do with heat and towes

How the hell did that work? I don't know ... uh ... how .... TOWELS ... is one of those towels, Towelie? Did he do some repairs while wrapped around the Xbox 360? I must know! I think they must have swapped it with a working Xbox 360, until I see the unedited video ... or the Mythbusters test it.

It's ridiculous that a console this new is already broken. And this is the same console that was voted #1 machine in one of those British video game magazines (not Retro Gamer but the one published by the same company, Imagine). Love that magazine, but all I gotta say is #1 my ass. I'll take the NES, CDX (Genesis & Sega CD in one), SNES, 2600, and all the 16-bit & earlier machines over the Xbox or even the PS3 (that I want to get) or any 3D console for that matter.

This is what makes ScrewAttack what it is. While other sites are afraid of having personalities, we know that gaming isn't always about the games you play. It's about the friends, events and personalities you meet along the way. If we experience it, there's a good chance you'll experience it here!
